Motorized Balancing Toy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a toy that flies in circles. This activity introduces learners to center of mass, torque, and rotational motion.

Motor Bird
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

Cylindrical Wing
Source Institutions
In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.

Sound Automata
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.

Gearing up with Robots
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with gear motion to understand how gears work to change the amount of force, speed, or direction of motion in machines.

Garden Poles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

Straws and Pins
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build bridges and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with straws and pins.

Statue Display Tower
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design, build, test and redesign a display tower that will meet a specific set of criteria and constraints.

Skewers and Garden Poles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

Micro Automata
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build small animated toys that move.
